Seco 00061868 Indexable Grooving Toolholder Right Hand Mdt

Product Description

The SECO 00061868 is a right-hand indexable grooving toolholder designed for external non-face grooving operations in metalworking and turning applications. Built to the A..-CGHR toolholder style, this tool accepts LC..1303.. inserts secured via a top-clamp holding method. It delivers a maximum depth of cut of 0.295 inches with a minimum and maximum groove width of 0.118 inches. The through-coolant design directs cutting fluid directly to the cutting zone, extending insert life and improving chip evacuation during demanding operations. At 10 inches overall length and a shank width of 0.961 inches, the 00061868 is engineered for rigidity in production turning environments.

This toolholder is suited for external grooving on CNC lathes and turning centers where right-hand cutting direction is required. It belongs to the SECO Multi-Directional Turning (MDT) series, which is designed for versatile grooving and parting applications. The primary workpiece material designation is stainless steel (material code M), making it appropriate for shops machining corrosion-resistant alloys. A minimum bore diameter of 0.985 inches must be observed when planning setups. The tool is multi-use compatible, allowing a single holder to serve across a range of MDT insert configurations including LC..1303.., LCMF, and LCMR insert families.
